LEND AN EAR TO VAN GOGH (04/18/2012)

In 1890 the artist, Vincent Van Gogh went into a cornfield and shot himself...Really?...and so on this premise of doubt, SACRE BLEU by Christopher Moore was conceived.

To Order Use Amazon Search Box

This book is a tongue in cheek comedy full of art, death, mystery, and quirky characters. Art history is  irreverently rewritten by this author...but with inventive prose and poignant imagery.

Moore decided to write this novel based on the color blue. "Maybe it's a clue to Van Gogh's untimely death" Moore says.... 

Sacre Bleu is "an engaging and imaginative look at the impressionist era"

Or, as it says in the prelude: "Blue, she is like a woman."  (whatever that means....)
A fun read!
